Chapter 236: Chapter 227 Small Talk
In Senior Brother Yue’s opinion…
Liu Yiyuan must be hiding something from him to get him to deal with Lin Jing.
In fact, it was quite normal for Senior Brother Yue to think this way.
After all…
Lin Jing rarely interacted with outsiders.
Not many people knew about his expulsion from the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
After Senior Brother Yue left, Lin Jing and Han Jing watched him walk away.
Then,
Han Jing turned his head and said to Lin Jing,
“I actually heard all of your conversation just now…”
“You did very well just now…”
“I know a little bit about him, he’s not the kind to seek revenge for every grievance, but he’s also not very magnanimous.”
“Now that he has backed down, let’s give him a way out.”
“With what happened this time, I think he probably won’t trouble you again.”
Having said that…
Han Jing looked at him with satisfaction:
“It seems…”
“You have grown a lot during these years down the mountain.”
What Han Jing referred to,
was naturally the choice Lin Jing had just made.
Lin Jing knew that,
although Senior Han was there and could help him seek justice,
if he really confronted Senior Brother Yue, at most, the affair would be taken to the elders, and Senior Brother Yue would only be reprimanded.
Beyond that, things would continue as they were.
Even,
he might end up hating Lin Jing because of it.
So instead of escalating the issue, it was better to give him an out.
Although…
he probably wouldn’t be grateful to him, but at least it saved a lot of trouble.
“I owe a lot to Senior Han for this matter.”
Lin Jing gave Han Jing a fist salute.
Han Jing quickly stepped forward, placing his hand on Lin Jing’s wrist, and then said,
“There’s no need for that…”
He continued,
“Actually, the reason I came over…”
“was because I heard someone mentioning your name and wanting to deal with you, so I wanted to come and see.”
“I thought it might be a case of identical names, but after I arrived, I realized it really was you!”
“Senior Brother Yue acted against you because of this person.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing instantly understood.
Nobody else but Liu Yiyuan would target him like this.
In this place of the Cleansing Spirit Pool, only Liu Yiyuan had a grudge against him.
Han Jing went on to say,
“I don’t know that person…”
“What I do know is that the other person by his side is the Young Master of the Yun Family, Yun Long.”
“Don’t you have some issues with them?”
Lin Jing then shook his head and gave a bitter smile,
“Well, it’s a long story…”
“Listen,”
“Senior Han, it’s inconvenient to talk here, let’s go to my cave dwelling first…”
“I’ll tell you all about it after we get to my cave dwelling.”
Upon hearing this, Han Jing nodded and said,
“That sounds good…”
“Come, follow me, I’ll take you to your cave dwelling.”
Afterwards,
Lin Jing and Han Jing walked towards the branch path leading to the inner area.
They followed the twists and turns of the cave, and it wasn’t until a quarter of an hour later that they stopped at the entrance of a cave dwelling.
Calling it a cave dwelling,
was really just a cultivation room carved into the mountainside.
It was probably called a ‘cave dwelling’ just to sound a bit more impressive.
At the entrance of the cave dwelling, a stone door blocked the way. Etched upon the stone door were the characters for “Yi Seventeen” but there were no other carvings or patterns, making it look quite simple.
In front of the cave dwelling’s entrance, there was a defensive array, its light shining brightly at the moment.
At the front of the array, there was a raised stone platform, on which sat a recess filled with intricate patterns…
If compared with the token in Lin Jing’s hand, one would find that they matched perfectly.
It seems that this was the place meant for the token.
“This is your cave dwelling…”
